Part X — Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Aviation — CORSIA

Division I — General

Interpretation

The following definitions apply in this Part.

CO₂ means carbon dioxide. (CO₂)

compliance period means one of the three-year periods set out in subsection 1020.01(2) of the CORSIA Standard. (période de conformité)

CORSIA means the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation set out in Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Convention. (CORSIA)

CORSIA eligible emissions unit has the same meaning as in subsection 1020.01(1) of the CORSIA Standard. (unité d’émissions admissible du CORSIA)

CORSIA eligible fuel has the same meaning as in subsection 1020.01(1) of the CORSIA Standard. (carburant admissible CORSIA)

CORSIA Standard means Standard 1020 — CORSIA, published by the Department of Transport. (Norme du CORSIA)

new entrant has the same meaning as in CORSIA and, for the purposes of interpreting this definition, “aeroplane operator” is to be read as “private operator” or “air operator”. (nouveau venu)

Application

1000.02 history

(1)

This Part applies to Canadian private operators and Canadian air operators that produce — from the use of one or more large aeroplanes — more than 10 000 t of CO₂ emissions from flights between contracting states during a calendar year.

(2)

For the purposes of subsection (1), the emissions are calculated in accordance with section 1000.03.

(3)

For the purposes of this Part, flights are attributed to a private operator or air operator in accordance with section 1020.02 of the CORSIA Standard and the flight departure time (UTC) determines the calendar year to which a flight belongs.

(4)

The following flights are exempt from the application of subsection (1):

Calculation Method

1000.03 history

(1)

CO₂ emissions are to be determined using the following formula and expressed in tonnes:

FCF

where

is the mass of fuel f used, expressed in tonnes and calculated according to

(a)

a method described in subsection 1020.03(1) of the CORSIA Standard, subject to subsection (2); or

(b)

a method described in subsection 1020.03(2) of the CORSIA Standard; and

is the fuel conversion factor of given fuel f, expressed in kg CO₂/kg fuel, and is equal to

(a)

3.16 for Jet-A and Jet-A1 fuels; or

(b)

3.10 for aviation gasoline (AvGas) and Jet-B fuel.

(2)

For the purposes of the methods described in paragraphs 1020.03(1)(a) and (b) of the CORSIA Standard, if a flight is operated on behalf of a private operator or air operator, that operator must ensure that the fuel measurement values calculated according to the method described in paragraph 1020.03(1)(c) of the CORSIA Standard are provided to it and taken into account in its calculations.
